March Madness

You’ll notice that my website has a new look for Imperial Scandal, thanks to my wonderful web designer Gregory Paris, and there are now Imperial Scandal detail pages. But Vienna Waltz is also on my mind this week. Last Wednesday I got the fun news that
Vienna Waltz is a finalist in DABWAHA, a contest for romance novels that mirrors basketball’s March Madness. As with the March Madness NCAA tournament, there are 64 contestants. Readers vote for their favorites in each round from 64 books to 32 to 16 to •8 to 4 to 2 to the tournament champion. I don’t expect Vienna Waltz to last in the tournament long, but I confess it’s fun to be singled out. I have fond memories of watching March Madness games with my dad. I think he’d enjoy one of his daughter’s books being part of a March Madness tournament.

Any questions about Imperial Scandal from the new pages? Have you ever participated in DABWAHA? What are your favorite books from 2011?

What fun! I just checked out the web page and there is a spot to fill out your own bracket. I might, except I haven’t read most of the books.
Congratulations for Vienna Waltz!

Congratulations!

I’d not come across DABWAHA before either, but I was delighted to find that I have three favourite authors / friends nominated — and you’re all in different categories so I can cheer/vote for you all! 😀

Thanks, Susan! I confess I haven’t read a lot of the books either – it’s a fun way to discover new books.

Thanks, Cate! Glad we’re in different categories :-). My friend Anne Mallory is a finalist too, but she’s also in a different category from me, thankfully.
